gdbserver: spurious SIGTRAP w/ detach while step-over in progress
A following patch will add a new testcase that has two processes, each with a number of threads constantly tripping a breakpoint and stepping over it, because the breakpoint has a condition that evals false. Then GDB detaches from one of the processes, while both processes are running. And then the testcase sends a SIGUSR1 to the other process. When run against gdbserver, that would occasionaly fail like this: (gdb) PASS: gdb.threads/detach-step-over.exp: iter 1: detach Executing on target: kill -SIGUSR1 208303 (timeout = 300) spawn -ignore SIGHUP kill -SIGUSR1 208303 Thread 2.5 "detach-step-ove" received signal SIGTRAP, Trace/breakpoint trap. [Switching to Thread 208303.208305] 0x000055555555522a in thread_func (arg=0x0) at /home/pedro/gdb/binutils-gdb/src/gdb/testsuite/gdb.threads/detach-step-over.c:54 54 counter++; /* Set breakpoint here. */ What happened was that GDBserver is doing a step-over for process A when a detach request for process B arrives. And that generates a spurious SIGTRAP report for process A, as seen above. The GDBserver logs reveal what happened: - GDB manages to detach while a step over is in progress. That reaches linux_process_target::complete_ongoing_step_over(), which does: /* Passing NULL_PTID as filter indicates we want all events to be left pending. Eventually this returns when there are no unwaited-for children left. */ ret = wait_for_event_filtered (minus_one_ptid, null_ptid, &wstat, __WALL); As the comment say, this leaves all events pending, _including_ the just finished step SIGTRAP. We never discard that SIGTRAP. So GDBserver reports the SIGTRAP to GDB. GDB can't explain the SIGTRAP, so it reports it to the user. The GDBserver log looks like this. The LWP of interest is 208305: Need step over [LWP 208305]? yes, found breakpoint at 0x555555555227 proceed_all_lwps: found thread 208305 needing a step-over Starting step-over on LWP 208305.
